Defense Acquisition Workforce Plan 2010.
The Defense Acquisition Strategic Workforce Plan was hand-delivered to Congress Tuesday, 27 April 2010. The report captures how we are supporting the intent of the President and the Secretary of Defense to improve the acquisition workforce. The report highlights Dr. Carter's theme that while "workforce size is important, quality is paramount."
The draft has evolved and it now reflects the growth strategy and the story of the SECDEF. The report contains three chapters: 1) Strategy, 2) Analytics, and 3) Initiatives. The Analytics chapter baselines the workforce using end-of-FY09 data. The report includes appendices on eight acquisition career fields: business, contracting, IT, LC Logistics, PM, Qual, SPRDE SE/PSE, and Test and Evaluation. It has additional appendices for the Army, DoN, Air Force, and DCMA. Also, it has appendices that address Section 820/Critical Positions, Section 834/Military, and Section 301 from WSARA on Awards for the Workforce.
As part of the Openness in Government Initiative, the document is available to the public-to everyone-on the Defense Acquisition Strategic Workforce Plan web site.

International Acquisition Career Path.
The Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics memorandum of June 2007 and
initiative 3.2.2 of the AT&L Strategic Goals Implementation Plan v3.0 became
realized on July 1, 2009, with the implementation of the Program
Management—International Acquisition career path. Initially targeting
acquisition workforce members assigned to Level III Program Management positions
for the first year of implementation, training has been established that
supports the development of program managers working on programs or projects
that have been designated as international, or are associated with: • An
international technology development or acquisition strategy; • An existing
acquisition cooperative international agreement; or • An approved foreign
military sales letter of offer and acceptance. The Core Plus Development Guides
for those PM Level III positions identified as International can be viewed in
the iCatalog.
